Ida continues with heavy rain across southeastern U.S. right now.

Invest 90L is the first thing in the outlook. (just off the coast of Africa) Second thing is about a low pressure area that could form in SW Carib.



Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Mon Aug 30 2021

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Ida, located inland over western Mississippi, and on recently
upgraded Tropical Storm Kate, located over the central tropical
Atlantic.

1. Satellite-derived wind data and satellite imagery indicate that an
area of low pressure has formed over the far eastern Tropical
Atlantic in association with a tropical wave that recently moved off
the west coast of Africa. Environmental conditions are conducive
for development, and a tropical depression is likely to form within
the next couple of days while the system moves west-northwestward at
10 to 15 mph over the eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

2. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form in the southern
Caribbean Sea by midweek. Environmental conditions appear to be
favorable for some slow development by the end of the week, as long
as the system remains over water. This system is expected to move
gradually west-northwestward or northwestward at 5 to 10 mph over
the western Caribbean Sea near the east coast of Central America.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

It's too early to know where it will go. As of the latest runs as of posting, GFS shows a threat to Azores with it and the Euro has it southeast of Bermuda at the end of its 10 day forecast. So it's too early to know whether it will threaten land. (including points further west) But I did want to point out that even if it goes further north in the Atlantic there are land areas that could be impacted.

Kate formed today in the Atlantic. (from T.D. Ten) It's moving northward overall in the Atlantic and no threat to land in the next 5 days.

Tropical depression eleven formed, became Julian and became
post-tropical over the weekend in the Atlantic.




In the East Pacific, Nora has dissipated. From key messages in last NHC discussion on it at 3am MDT today:

"Heavy rain associated with Nora's remnants is expected across
the states of Sinaloa and Sonora. This rain will likely result in
life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. Rainfall from the
remnants of Nora is also likely to spread into the southwestern
U.S. and central Rockies beginning Wednesday, bringing the potential
for flash flooding to the region."

And finally, the NHC is also monitoring an area in the SW Caribbean that has a 20% chance of development over 5 days.

Since it is currently hard to pick up on some of the models, and I hope it stays that way, here is the vorticity:

Euro:

It's early yet, but something we will need to keep an eye on just in case. A lot of people are going to be without power for awhile in Louisiana so hopefully nothing comes of it.

I see LawKat posted about the CMC, so here is that model:
